Doors keep slamming of late... Alex, you were less abrasive and far
more helpful than a lot of people who troll the mailing lists, but it
did feel as though you were trolling for a while there.
Don't have such a thin skin! I'm not a dev, but I was excited to see
your energetic input. There are many people who are thinking about
ways to improve the site's performance -- people who spend hours a day
doing exactly that. If you make your suggestions politely, especially
if you do so on-wiki where they will outlive temporary local disputes,
they will be heard loud and clear.
